This market will resolve to the team that uses the least unique heroes across the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) Dota 2 tournament with a minimum of 5 completed games, held July 7–19, 2026 in Paris, France.

A team's "hero pool" is the set of distinct heroes that team drafts and plays across all of its completed official games at EWC 2026. A hero counts once toward a team's pool no matter how many times that team picks it, and regardless of which player on the team plays it.

Only completed official games count (group stage, survival/gauntlet stage, and playoffs). Heroes picked in a game that is remade or not completed do not count from that game, but count if picked by the team in any other completed game.

Bans are not counted; only heroes drafted and played count toward a team's pool.

This market resolves to the team with the least unique heroes played at the conclusion of the tournament with 5 or more completed games. If two or more teams are tied for the least unique heroes, the market resolves to the tied team that played the more number of total games at the tournament. If teams remain tied on both unique heroes and total games played, the market resolves to the tied team with the higher final tournament placement. If a tie still persists, the market will resolve to the team that comes first alphabetically.

If the tournament is cancelled, postponed past August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the results are not determined within that timeframe, this market will also resolve to "Other."
